Customer: Trustline Services

Location: Hunsdon, Hertfordshire

Requirement: When local Hertfordshire bus company Trustline Services won a glut of new contracts, it quickly needed to take on new staff - and find somewhere to house them. The company had a yard where all its buses were based, but no office facilities on the same site. With new contracts urgently needing to be managed, five new staff were employed, and complete office accommodation had to be found for the newly expanded workforce.

Solution: Trustline Services approached Portakabin for a solution to its requirements, and was pleased to learn that the company could also provide office furniture for hire. This meant all of Trustline's urgent needs could be met by one supplier, with a fully furnished office delivered in a very short timescale - ready for Trustline's new staff to move straight in.

Portakabin supplied workstations, chairs and a stationery cupboard for the five administration and operations staff who would be working in the new facilities. Trustline also hired a coffee table, tub chairs and a sofa to create a relaxing coffee break area for its busy new team.

"We were very happy with the solution provided by Portakabin. It meant we could solve all our accommodation needs through one company, and in the short timescale that our rapid expansion demanded."

"We decided to hire because it gives us the flexibility to expand or move to a new site in future, if the business keeps growing as it has over the past year. It was also the only way to get a building on site quickly enough for our requirements."

"The furniture we have hired is of a good quality, and the service we received from Portakabin was very good. The buildings and furniture were delivered and installed on time, and any issues were quickly rectified by the team at the Hire Centre. Overall it has been a very successful experience for us."
